Pressure Cooker Method

Turn your pressure cooker on sauté mode. Add in olive oil, steak, garlic and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until steak has browned on the outside. Press cancel.

Add remaining ingredients (except tapioca flour and green onions) and secure the lid on top. Press pressure cook and set the timer for 4 minutes. After timer goes off, allow pressure cooker to sit for 5 minutes before manually releasing the pressure.

Carefully remove the lid. Remove 1/4 cup of the liquid and mix with tapioca flour. Return this mixture to the pot and stir to combine. This will thicken the sauce.

Serve. Top with green onions if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Slice Against the Grain 🔪
Cut skirt or flank steak against the grain into thin strips to maximize tenderness and allow the sauce to coat each piece evenly for optimal flavor absorption.
Toast Tapioca Flour First 🌾
Lightly toast the tapioca flour in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before coating to enhance its ability to create a light, crispy exterior while keeping the steak juicy inside.
Add Thai Basil at the End 🌿
Reserve half your fresh Thai basil to stir in during the final 30 seconds of cooking; this preserves its delicate anise notes and aromatic oils that define authentic Thai flavor.
Develop a Fond Layer 🍳
After searing the steak, don't immediately wipe the pan—use the browned bits (fond) as your sauce base by deglazing with coconut aminos to add incredible depth and umami.
Prep Vegetables Uniformly 🫑
Cut all peppers and onions into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking in under 30 minutes and consistent texture throughout the finished dish.
